Giveaway: DEAD TO YOU by Lisa McMann ARC

Because I love Lisa McMann and her books so much (I've been lucky enough to meet her several times and she is just the nicest, most genuine, and fun person!), and I have an extra ARC of her newest YA book, DEAD TO YOU, which releases February 7th, I decided to celebrate her newest book birthday by holding a giveaway!

You can win an ARC of DEAD TO YOU by entering on the form below.

Contest will be open until 12:01am on Tuesday, February 7th DEAD TO YOU's birthday.

I love lisa's books because she does such of a masterful job of making every story feel true. The stories are beautifully written, and make me think in a more philosophical way. Her writing inspires me to keep writing and learning.

I've been following Ms. McMann's books since she first released Wake. It was actually an accident. I was grabbing another book, and picked up Wake. It looked and sounded interesting, so I took it home and fell in love. :)

I first discovered Lisa McMann through her Wake trilogy, and ever since then, I've read every single one of her books. The worlds and characters she creates are so imaginative that I get completely sucked into the stories. I really admire her writing skills and storytelling ability. Her books are always such great reads; I can't wait to get my hands on Dead to You!

Lisa McMann's writing made me want to read. I even wrote a paper about how her books inspired me to read more for my college English Comprehension class. If I could personally thank her for what she has done for me, I would love to do that. Her Wake series really opened my eyes to the wonderful world of literature and what is out there for minds like my own to discover and read. Her books are like watching a movie in my head, and that is probably the one thing that I love the most about her books. I simply CANNOT wait for this book to be released so I can go buy it :) And, to top it off, I have to travel to the nearest bookstore about 45 minutes away from me because all the darn bookstores near me are closed :(

Wow. Mrs. Heise tweeted to me to come see her blog, and since she's a friend, I came right over. I wasn't expecting such a love fest! Thank you, all - I can't tell you just how much your support means to me. Thank you so much for buying and reading my books, and for those who haven't yet, I wish you all the best luck winning the arc so you can give me a try. :) Love to all!!

welcome!
